In late summer 2016, 40-year-old Elimisha Maryetta Gates was found shot in the back of the head while she slept in a motel room at the Express Inn & Suites on West Highway 138 in Stockbridge, Georgia. Police were called to the scene on August 23, 2016, and investigators treated the death as a homicide.

Authorities quickly identified a primary suspect, 44-year-old ex-boyfriend Tory Leroy Jones. After the killing Jones fled the state and was described as armed and dangerous; a public alert included his description and the vehicle he was believed to be driving. U.S. Marshals located and arrested Jones in Huntsville, Alabama and he was returned to Georgia to face charges.

Jones was charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. A jury found him guilty on all counts and he was sentenced to life in prison without parole plus ten years. Does anyone have information about Gates or her movements before August 23, 2016?
